Jeff Flake to birthers: Get real

Republican Arizona Congressman Jeff Flake believes that birthers should “accept the reality” and acknowledge the fact that President Obama was born in the US.

“Barack Obama is a citizen of the country,” Flake said in an interview with CNN on Thursday. “We ought to get off this kick. And there are plenty of differences we have with the president between Republicans and Democrats than to spend time on something like this.”

When asked about a recent poll that showed a majority of Republican primary voters believe President Obama was born outside the country, Flake said he didn’t trust the results.
